Call me a prophet, but soon... $45 cards will be 10gb. Like within a month or so. I may have an inside scoop.

My current service month began a few days ago and noticed today that the Straight Talk app is now displaying the current $45 Unlimited service plan includes 10Gb of high speed data. It was displaying 8Gb last month. The ST web site now references this 10Gb for the $45 plan.

Be warned, as apparently there's some glitches left in the system. I was streaming music in the car yesterday when it suddenly got choppy and breaking up all the time. When I'd arrived at my destination, I was browsing and noticed how slow it was, and realized- yup- I'd hit 8GB (the old limit) and sent "Throttle" to 611611 and was told that I was indeed throttled. Luckily my new month starts tomorrow, but even if the app says 10GB, as of right now anyway we're still only getting 8GB.

I wouldn't be so sure that your credentials have been validated... You've only been around HW since 2014. You "may" have an inside scoop? Maybe you shall enlighten us.

All I have to say is... "Boosh"

*Edit*
I seem really pretentious in this post, i apologize for that. For reference, I work at Walmart as a Department 87(wireless) manager. So I do indeed get the inside scoop on most things straight talk. We got an alert on our activation platform about a week ago saying that we had recieved cards that displayed $45 for 10gb, and they needed to be either held or destroyed until Oct 16. Evidently ST decided to just push out the new plans here in late September than wait for October.

We just got a text from ST informing us that we now have 10gb on the $45 plan starting on the next refill. Since we auto pay and that was last week I thought what a bunch of sneaks! But low and behold when we pull it up on the app ii says we have used 1.34 of 10 gb! 😀
